Now don't fall in love 
Cause you know i got a ramblin way

Come get real close to me 
I'll tell ya what's goin down 
In the southland. 


Chorus 


Hey hey in the southland 

Solo 


Now just north of my hometown 
I got some friends you see 
Them boys from oklahoma 
Gettin high on southern reverie 
Keep the campfires burnin 
Don't worry if i'm not there 
I come creepin up quick, with a smile on my face 
Baby's got pine needles in her hair 
That's how we do it in the southland 

Now everybody get up, stand up 
Get up get up in the southland 
Everybody get up  
Proud people proud people in the southland 
Won't ya come on take a ride 
Momma's in the kitchen, 
Daddy's in the field, we aint got nothin to hide 
In the southland....
